Client Service Agreement, Cancellation & Refund Policy, Privacy Policy, and Liability Waiver. All documents effective April 2026.
This Client Service Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between PTO Travel Agency LLC ("Agency," "we," "us," or "our"), operating under host agency Waiter's Travel, and the undersigned client ("Client," "you," or "your"). By submitting an inquiry, paying a service fee, or otherwise engaging our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement in its entirety.
Scope of Services
PTO Travel Agency LLC is an independent travel agency operating under host agency Waiter's Travel. We provide travel planning, booking coordination, and concierge-style itinerary management services at three (3) service tiers:
- Essentials Tier — $400 service fee. Covers core travel planning and booking coordination for straightforward itineraries.
- Signature Tier — $600 service fee. Covers enhanced planning, personalized itinerary curation, and dedicated coordination.
- Opulence Tier — $1,600 annual service fee. Covers full-concierge, white-glove travel planning for complex, multi-destination, or luxury experiences.
Service fees are charged for planning, research, and coordination time — not for the cost of travel itself. Travel costs (flights, hotels, tours, etc.) are paid directly to suppliers or invoiced separately.
Service Fees & Payment
2.1 Service fees are non-refundable regardless of whether travel is completed, cancelled, or modified. By paying a service fee, you are compensating the Agency for time, expertise, and resources expended on your behalf.
2.2 Payment of the service fee is required before the Agency commences detailed planning, booking, or supplier negotiations.
2.3 Service fees do not include travel costs such as flights, hotel accommodations, tours, transportation, travel insurance, visas, passports, resort fees, gratuities, or any other supplier charges.
2.4 The Agency reserves the right to adjust service fees for scope changes, added destinations, or materially increased complexity after initial engagement. Any adjustments will be communicated and agreed upon in writing prior to additional charges.
2.5 Invoices for travel costs are due per supplier and booking deadlines communicated to you during planning. Failure to pay supplier invoices by deadlines may result in cancellation of bookings without refund.
Client Responsibilities
You agree to:
- Provide accurate, complete, and timely information including full legal names, dates of birth, passport details, dietary restrictions, mobility needs, and other relevant personal information.
- Communicate preferences, budget constraints, and travel goals clearly and promptly.
- Review all booking confirmations, itineraries, and travel documents within 24 hours of receipt and report any discrepancies immediately.
- Obtain and maintain all required travel documents including valid passports, visas, and entry requirements. The Agency is not responsible for denied entry, missed travel, or losses resulting from inadequate documentation.
- Secure adequate travel insurance. The Agency strongly recommends Clients purchase comprehensive travel insurance including trip cancellation, medical, and evacuation coverage.
- Respond to communications from the Agency within a reasonable timeframe. Delays in Client communication may affect booking availability and pricing.
Agency Role & Limitations
4.1 The Agency acts as an independent intermediary between Clients and travel suppliers. The Agency does not own, operate, or control any travel supplier.
4.2 The Agency does not guarantee supplier performance, service quality, or availability. All bookings are subject to the terms and conditions of the respective supplier.
4.3 Prices quoted are subject to change until confirmed and paid. The Agency is not responsible for price increases occurring after a quote is issued but before payment is received.
4.4 The Agency will advocate on your behalf in the event of supplier issues; however, we cannot guarantee outcomes and are not liable for supplier failures, insolvencies, or acts outside our control.
Force Majeure
The Agency shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, government-imposed travel restrictions, war, terrorism, strikes, civil unrest, or supplier insolvencies. In such events, the Agency will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist in rebooking or recovering funds from suppliers, though outcomes are not guaranteed and service fees remain non-refundable.
Limitation of Liability
6.1 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, PTO Travel Agency LLC, its members, employees, agents, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from travel services arranged on your behalf, including: personal injury, property damage, travel delays, cancellations, missed connections, supplier defaults, or acts of third parties.
6.2 The Agency's total liability to any Client shall not exceed the total service fees paid to the Agency by that Client for the specific booking in dispute.
6.3 Nothing in this Agreement limits liability for fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.
Disputes & Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Pennsylvania, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising from this Agreement that cannot be resolved informally shall be submitted to binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Arbitration shall take place in Center Valley, Pennsylvania. Each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees and costs unless otherwise determined by the arbitrator.
Entire Agreement & Amendments
This Agreement, together with any booking confirmation, invoice, and applicable policies incorporated herein, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties. The Agency reserves the right to update this Agreement at any time. The version in effect at the time of booking governs that booking.
Service Fees — Non-Refundable
All service fees paid to PTO Travel Agency LLC are strictly non-refundable. Service fees represent compensation for planning, research, coordination, supplier negotiations, and professional time invested on your behalf — regardless of whether travel is completed.
Travel Booking Cancellations
Cancellations of travel bookings are subject to each individual supplier's cancellation policies, which may include fully non-refundable bookings, partial refunds, future travel credits, or supplier cancellation fees. The Agency will communicate each supplier's specific cancellation terms in writing at the time of booking.
Cancellation Timeline
| Cancellation Timing | Service Fee | Travel Booking Refund |
|---|---|---|
| Before booking confirmed | Non-refundable | N/A — no travel booking made |
| 60+ days before departure | Non-refundable | Per supplier policy |
| 30–59 days before departure | Non-refundable | Per supplier policy (partial loss likely) |
| 0–29 days before departure | Non-refundable | Typically minimal/no refund |
No-Show Policy
Failure to appear for a confirmed booking ("No-Show") without prior cancellation will result in total forfeiture of the booking amount per supplier policies. No refunds will be issued by the Agency in connection with a No-Show.
Agency-Initiated Modifications
In the rare event that the Agency is unable to fulfill a confirmed booking due to reasons within our control, we will use reasonable efforts to provide a comparable alternative or facilitate a refund of travel costs from the supplier. The Agency's liability is limited to service fees paid.
